Hi, I’m Sudhish — a hands-on technical leader based in the San Francisco Bay Area, originally from Bangalore. I build and ship AI/ML, data, platform & cloud infrastructure systems — and the teams that sustain them.

My day-to-day spans the full stack of production infrastructure: compute & orchestration, APIs & datastores, CI/CD & monitoring, agentic AI/ML & RAG systems, security & cost optimization — all with a deep DevOps & SRE mindset. I take complex requirements, simplify them, and turn them into future-proof, resilient software.

I’ve led globally distributed, cross-functional teams across Product, Engineering, QA & Operations — combining the agility of startups with the discipline of enterprise. I’d rather automate and ship fast than drown in toil and process.

On this website, explore my experience, projects, and blog. Outside of work, I enjoy basketball, swimming, and playing percussion — Tabla, Ghatam, Mridangam & Drums.

Agentic AI and semantic data layer for power-market infrastructure.

Designed an IEC CIM-aligned power-system ontology and built agentic AI services surfacing warehouse data to AI agents via MCP and REST/SPARQL — enabling safe LLM access to production power-market data.

7-persondata + platform team
1,000+scenarios computed in ~10 min daily
2 monthsontology + semantic API shipped
  • Led design of a power-system ontology (OWL/SHACL, YAML-LinkML) over a Databricks lakehouse, with a stable graph Reader API across pluggable backends.
  • Shipped dual-transport service surfacing warehouse data + semantics to AI agents (MCP) and applications (REST/SPARQL), with CI-enforced parity.
  • Built SCED scenario engine orchestration — Dagster → Argo → Metaflow pipelines with 1,000+ concurrent computations (scaling toward 10k+) and per-solve failure isolation.
  • Built end-to-end data lineage across forecast, strategy & trading — threading URN-style resource identity from ground data through ontology, data catalog, dbt, and Dagster to outcomes.
